BIOENGINEERING ELEVATED TALK
CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING AT THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH, Quantifying Fall Risk: A Neural and Biomechanical Approach to Prevention, Dr. Erika Pliner, Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering, University of Utah. In person in SMBB 2650!
Falls are a leading and rising cause of accidental deaths in the US. Falling incidents are common in manual labor working environments and among older adults. This showcases the complex relationship of fall risk with environmental demands and human capabilities. To combat falls, we apply a human factors approach to characterize the individual and environmental factors of fall risk. Utilizing biomechanical and neural recording techniques in simulated real-world settings, we quantify how people interact with their surroundings under varying conditions. In this talk, I will highlight our fall prevention research across diverse applications, including ladder safety, surface friction, mobility impairments, step training, and…

Evaluation of the piecewise-linear traction separation cohesive zone method framework for simulation of fracture in adhesively bonded composites
By: Connor Farrell
Date: October 23rd, 2025
Time: 1:00 pm
Location: MEK 3660
Committee Members:
Dr. Michael Czabaj

Dr. Andrew Bergan
Project Summary
Adhesives are a promising alternative to traditional mechanical fasteners as a method of joining components in composite aerospace structures; however, existing methods to characterize and simulate fracture in adhesive bondlines require further improvements to become useful in engineering practice. This has proved challenging because adhesives exhibit quasi-ductile fracture and large fracture process zones that preclude the direct use of existing characterization and analysis methods developed for tape-laminate composites.
This study proposes a combined experimental and numerical methodology to assess fracture in adhesively bonded composites using a recently dev…

BIOENGINEERING ELEVATED TALK
CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING AT THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH, POTENTIATION OF CORTICO-SPINAL AND CORTICO-BULBAR OUTPUT TO RESTORE MOTOR FUNCTIONS, Dr. Elvira Pirondini, Assistant Professor in the Departments of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and Bioengineering, University of Pittsburgh
In person in SMBB 2650!
Lesions of the cortico-spinal tract (CST) and cortico-bulbar tract (CBT), resulting from stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), brain tumors, or neurodegenerative disorders, disrupt communication between the cortex and lower motor centers, leading to significant functional deficits in face, upper, or lower limb muscles. However, in most cases, the damage to the descending axons is incomplete offering a potential target for new therapies aimed at improving volitional muscle activation. In my talk, I will first present findings demonstrating how targeted stimulation of the motor thalamus can facilitate activation of surviving CST and CBT fibers thereby…
